(Thursday: I went to a consignment sale with Asa and found 2 things for him and several more for Anna Reaghan. I've had my eye out for a few things to fill in the gap if she's in the 3/3-6ish month size range when the season changes to fall and cooler weather. I scored big at the sale and paid an average of $4/item, and most of the things I found were top reselling brands--yea!)
Friday: I am really struggling to remember what in the world we did on Friday. :) I really am not sure, and that feels pitiful! I think Friday is the day we pretty much stayed at home and did nothing because I overdid it on Thursday between wearing Asa at the sale (forgot the stroller, so I tied him on with my mei tai which is just getting more taxing as Anna Reaghan grows--normally he's still super comfy in it), vacuuming (which also involved holding a terrified 22 month old), and other household tidying. It was just.too.much and I was really hurting (well, the most sore I've been in this pregnancy) on Friday as a result.
Saturday: Asa's new chair was delivered from the furniture store! Hooray!! He was slightly confused at first. At nap time he was running around with his favorite book, The Jesus Storybook Bible, and I asked him to take it to his chair so we could read it. He ran out of his room and to his "old" chair (the glider) that was sitting in the loft. We kind of giggled and directed him back to his room and continued to make a show of his big, new, comfy chair. He is no longer confused. In fact, from downstairs he spotted Anna Reaghan's quilt folded over the back of his old chair and he called out, "Sister's!" He gets it.... kind of. :) He's also taken to calling most girls "Anna" initially, so something in his sweet head is associating "girl" with "Anna" "Sister" "Reaghan" etc. She'll still rock his world, but at least he's picking up a few things we've said. After his nap, we went to Babies R Us to look for a stuffed animal to take "progress" pictures of Anna Reaghan with, ala Asa's Snoodle pictures. They had nothing. It was abysmal. But we did find the outfit I later returned and bought for Anna Reaghan to come home in. :) Then we stopped at Walmart for a few random things. No stuffed animals there either. Lastly we tried Toys R Us, and that was the most pitiful of all. Half an aisle of the most generic brown bears and blue dogs you can imagine. Seriously--where do you find good stuffed animals these days??? Matt mowed the yard after our errands, we discovered a bird's nest WITH an egg in it,
and then he grilled burgers for dinner. Yum! Happy Sunny Saturday to us!!! We haven't seen many of those yet. ;)
Sunday: I had my nursery volunteer orientation while Matt went to our Sunday school class. It was "breakfast Sunday" where everyone brings something to share for breakfast during the class. I tried a breadmaker cinnamon roll dough the night before, so we contributed a pan of those. They are yummy! Even Asa liked them (and he's not one for particularly sweet things). After Sunday school was the worship service, and then we actually stayed for a little lunch gathering for new/newer attendees to hear from the pastors and have a chance to ask questions. Then it was (past) nap time, so I relaxed while Matt ran a few errands. Then he completed some honey-dos while I went and got the coming home outfit for Anna Reaghan and spotted a few things for Asa's birthday at JoAnn's. I made lasagna for dinner, and Asa LOVED shaking parmesan cheese on each layer and placing lasagna noodles in the pan. He is very intrigued by what goes on in the kitchen. :)
That about covers it! Now we're on to a new week, more rain, another check-up for me on Friday, and trying to get Asa's naps back in order after some of the weekend's deviance from our regular routine. :) Happy May to you!
